Jason D. Merker, MD, PhD

Pathologist

Assistant Professor of Pathology at the Stanford University Medical Center

Bio: Dr. Merker is a clinical laboratory-based physician who specializes in genetic disease testing for both heritable disease and cancer. He is board-certified in Molecular Genetic Pathology, Clinical Pathology, and Clinical Cytogenetics. Dr. Merker is Co-Director of the Stanford Medicine Clinical Genomics Service, a laboratory section within the Stanford Anatomic Pathology & Clinical Laboratories that uses genomic sequencing and other advanced methods to evaluate the cause of disease in patients with unexplained heritable disease. He also directs an active research group that focuses on two areas: 1) development of improved experimental and computational approaches related to the use of genomic sequencing and other “omics” assays for clinical care, and 2) identification and characterization of acquired and heritable genetic variants that are important for the development of hematologic disorders and other malignancies.

Clinical trials are research studies that evaluate a new medical approach, device, drug, or other treatment. As a Stanford Health Care patient, you may have access to the latest, advanced clinical trials.

Open trials refer to studies currently accepting participants. Closed trials are not currently enrolling, but may open in the future.
